the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

What's ppb?
A common acronym used in Academic Marxist spaces. I hope you'll find this infographic informative.
this was painful to watch, like watching a man enter a thread and ask "what's ligma"
Pig poop balls (as my fellow poster just showed you, I'm so sorry). It's what we post to dismiss someone's bs when they've made it clear that they're not to be taken seriously. And a lot of people lose their shit at the sight of it, so it's pretty effective.
Having read everyone's posts explaining it, I would phrase it as something like "PPB is a symbol that indicates the poster has decided the person they are conversing with is no longer arguing in good faith, or has indicated that they will not change their views even when presented with well supported evidence. Alternately, it may be used to indicate that a statement contains something heinous and is not worthy of being engaged with at all."
